“Today, marks one month being married for my husband and I! Yay! Believe me when I tellyou… Desirable Events by Desi made our wedding a fairytale come true! Both Desi and RJ (her husband) were absolutely amazing and made sure that every tiny detail was taken care of! Initially, I was very very torn between trying to plan our wedding from out-of-state (we are military) and spending the money to hire a full wedding coordinator. From the moment I first emailed her to the moment I walked down the aisle, Desi was by my side! Yes, I know that kind of sounds ‘cliche’ but it is 1000% true! Since I don’t live in Vegas, Desi and I did most of my planning all though email/text, but she was extremely quick to respond and provided honest and helpful planning ideas all along the way. She truly is amazing and her expertise and creativity is indescribable. The day of the wedding I didn’t get to see the ceremony and reception set-up happening as I was getting pampered/ready, so when I finally got to see everything put together it looked like I was in the most romantic fairytale of a dream. To be honest, I handed Desi 3 crates of decor and both her and RJ put it all together. It was absolutely breathtaking! It truly reminded me of something out of a wedding magazine or something a Bride would find on Pinterest! Desi and RJ went far beyond our expectations of having a wedding coordinator. They became our friends and ones we will always be grateful for! They made our wedding the most memorable day of our lives! If you are on the fence with hiring a coordinator, I promise that Desi will make your fairytale come true! She was worth every penny and I would hire her a million times again! Thank you Desi and RJ! <3 Mr. & Mrs. Buckley”

“We live in Atlanta, and I had never been to Las Vegas before when I hired Desi as our wedding planner. Desi was beyond amazing! Not only is she very responsive and organized, but she is also very kind and friendly. For example, when we came to Las Vegas for our tasting and vendor meetings, Desi surprised my dad with cake pops since she knew it was his birthday soon. That really stuck with me. I felt like Desi was my friend and that I could talk to her about anything. She worked with my unusual ideas without judgment I will miss working with her now that our wedding is over. Desi explained various components of the wedding to me, offered me sound advice/guidance, and thought of every small detail. She recommended outstanding vendors who were in my budget. I would not have had a dream team without Desi. As a destination bride, it was very helpful that Desi handled all the day of wedding work, including setting up wedding favors and other supplies, as well as getting my dress steamed and transported to my hotel room. We were very annoying clients because we shipped a lot of things to Desi’s house, which was critical since the hotel charged high rates for storing things and we could not pack everything that we needed. I was not nervous on the day of the wedding because I knew everything was in Desi’s hands. That being said, Desi did a lot of work before the day of our wedding. I would recommend to all brides that they hire Desi as a full-time or partial planner because it makes the process much smoother. I would have forgotten a lot of details that I needed to work out with the vendors if it was not for Desi. In short, DESI IS THE BEST!!!!!!!”

“Let me set the scene for you. It’s 3 months before your Vegas wedding (you do not live in Vegas). You get a phone ca
ll telling you that the venue you had reserved and paid for 6 months before was actually closing and no longer an option.
First, you freak out. Then you want to cry, but instead you email Desirable Events By Desi with the situation. Desi responds within the next couple of hours with confidence and calm. Just what you need at that moment. You hire her and move onto the planning phase. She finds you a better venue in the same hotel, so none of your (already booked) hotel guests need to change their reservations or flights. Desi pretty much saves the day. She then goes through all the other additional details… timeline, photographer, Photo Booth, ambiance, flowers, vibe, speeches, moral support…etc. The day ends up better than you imagined. Did I mention the first time I saw the venue was the morning of the wedding (I could not get to Vegas, so having her and my then Fiancé going to venue and taking pictures so that I was comfortable with it was also an added bonus)? It was gorgeous and just the Sinatra Old School Vegas Crooner vibe we were going for. I felt comfortable the whole night because her and her partner were there the whole night to make sure everything flowed smoothly. I am not only glad I hired her to help plan our special day, but also now consider her a friend (awwwww).”

“We hired Desi to plan our destination wedding at the SLS in Las Vegas, and we can say without a doubt that it was the best decision we made. It was invaluable to have boots on the ground while we planned our wedding from a distance. Desi is knowledgeable, organized, fierce, and sympathetic – we always felt safe under her care. She was so on top of everything that we simply didn’t have to worry about our wedding day. We could go on and on about how great she is, but here are a few reasons: In the planning stages, Desi takes charge so you don’t have to. She’s so knowledgeable about the whole process that we didn’t have to worry whether or not we were asking the right questions, or if there was something we were missing. She’s got it covered. Desi brings the plan to life, period. Whether she’s finding replacements for broken decorations, dealing with overzealous security guards (hint: don’t f**k with Desi), or managing hordes of vendors, Desi gets it done. On the big day, Desi takes care of you (even though she was juggling a ton of different tasks like decorations, AV, lighting, food, beverage, photography, etc). She made sure that we were always comfortable and feeling good about the day. Her husband RJ, who is her second-in-command, is incredibly detail-oriented and set up our reception area flawlessly. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, even beyond our wildest expectations. That’s because of Desi. Hiring her is a decision you’ll never regret”

“Desi is the most amazing wedding planner!! I just had my wedding on Saturday and I was so impressed with how she handled everything. Our wedding was a bit complicated bc we had extra lights, show girls, exotic cars and mini people. She handled everything so well and it was the happiest day of my life!”

“Desi is the most professional, efficient, organized, experienced business/wedding planner I have ever worked with.She had florist, lighting, venue, glam team, salon, dj, favors, tuxedo, officiant, videographer, photographer all set in a month. She is so well connected and experienced that she pays for herself. All the advice and discounts in savings you get through her has covered the cost of her fees. Because of Desi I was able to have a wonderful fun journey months leading up to my wedding. Anything I wanted, needed she responded to quickly. Everything was seamless. Day of the wedding she was there and on point. I had a 24 person bridal party and she handled them all so gracefully. And the wedding venue was perfect. She captured everything I asked for and exceeded my expectations. It was so beautiful. I would not change a thing. Desi is the best I would always choose her.”

“Desi went above and beyond when it came to helping us plan our wedding. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants to take stress off of planning a wedding. All things on our big day went off without a hitch. Desi couldn’t have made it easier for us. My wife and myself can’t thank Desi enough for all the help she provided us with. She is truly a passionate person when it comes to weddings and we now consider her a great friend. She brings so much energy and positive vibes to the planning that we consider her our own personal little can of RedBull :)”
